Default Re: Grammatical Error In Forum

Someone needs to pay another visit to their English teacher...

From the Dictionary, definition/usage of their:

"(used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her): Someone left their book on the table. Did everyone bring their lunch?"

Bottom Line: The use of "their" is grammaticaly appropriate following the use of the indefinite singular antecedent, "this user".

ps... being a grammer/spelling nit on the Internet is counterproductive [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
